Hi, a few weeks ago I completed my first hackintosh, and since then I've been putting together a second one for my internship. This time, I needed thunderbolt 3 compatibility so I could connect an external audio interface.
So, without further ado, THE MAGIC
Specs:
- GTX 950 (GPU)
- i7-7700k (CPU)
- 750GB Hybrid Drive
- 16GB Ram
- Z170X-Gaming 7 Gigabyte Motherboard
- Clarett 8pre Audio Interface
Extra info:
I originally was going to use a newer motherboard, but after four choices, none worked with thunderbolt. I went to the hardware store and was going to pick up an Asus motherboard to use with their Thunderbolt EX expansion card, but I lucked out and someone had just returned a Z170X, so I got that instead.
I first booted to windows, and installed the driver/bios updates, then I opened the bios and set my default hackintosh settings.
To make it work with the external device, I messed around in the thunderbolt bios for a bit.
For a finale, I installed macOS using clover, and ran the migration assistant to transfer files from a laptop. I then used EFIMounter to mount both the clover EFI from the USB and the hard disk efi. I copied over the efi from the USB, and now it boots perfectly without it!
